"I need a beer" - unknown
i need a beer.
i need it right here.
and have a few more near.
for my head to be clear.
and void of fear.
all thoughts will be smeared.
and impaled by a spear.
all visions will be reared.
my cares will disappear.
reminisce about past years.
spent with my closest peers.
so i say, so sincere.
i need a mofunkin beer.
cheers!

Thread Necromancy! Naw I figure it's relevant to this thread. I was laying in bed last night and decided since I could not sleep to try writing on a random idea. Inspired the a set of pictures called "this is what an atheist looks like" that depicts famous people who happen to be atheists. It's probably terrible but, be honest and maybe I'll improve.
Just another atheist - Demonaura.
My name is Michael,
And I am 19 years young,
I am pro-choice,
And pro-rights,
I beleive in the freedom of speech,
And the right to remain silent,
I oppose the art of senseless war,
And I do it without the sword,
I wish we would live without superstition,
And by now you probably know, I'm just another atheist.
Basically I was trying to come up with things that people tend to hold opinions on and quickly state mine with a quick 'I (something), And (something)' scheme. Mostly because it sounded cool to me that way. In the end I say "I'm just another atheist", somewhat hoping to tie into my original idea which was to show the potential diversity of nonbelievers.
So, hopefully theres some good points, I can think of some things I'd like to improve (I don't expect to be Emily Dickinson yet) and a few good points as well.
Also when it is finished (I may make some changes based on input) I want to record it on my Youtube profile.

I has a poem...
See my love
I cannot tell
Screaming what my heart
Begins to yell
I'll break my promise
Set me free
Bring my love
Back to me
Here I am, the tower that fell
Release my spirit
Set me free
Bring my love
Back to me

Thanks. 
I wrote it in 8th grade, actually.
Wow, really? Have never really been able to write poetry. Not that I wanted to either, which maybe is the main reason why haven't be able.
It's impressive anyway.

'We Malfunction' - a poem by me:
'We are robots and we might malfunction
We are robots and we might go wrong
Perhaps we should be warned
That it's not just to be scorned
When what we do we don't just spawn.'
First poem I've ever wrote that isn't just random nonsense, lol.

EvF,
I like your poem, it goes with your ideas of a mechanistic reality.
Here is my contribution:
I woke up one morning and next to my bed
a very strange thing my own severed head
I picked it up and what could be found
my left and right arm lying there on the ground
and what I saw, it made me sick
for in my right hand was my erect dick
I looked further on and there were my legs
held to the ground by two wooden pegs
I said I was sick but what made me more so
was that against the wall I saw my torso
all on the ground was gore and glop
because out of my body my organs had flopped
I suddenly woke and the truth that I found
I had fallen in a pool and there I had drowned.

Lol I like it. It's funny and weird.
I was thinking that perhaps I should change "Robots" to machines since that's more general and it works well with the 'might' and 'malfunction', with the 'm's.
